    I think you've not removed the 2x5W firmware file gupdate.gcd from your unit's Garmin folder. It will simply again flash it back to 2x5W immediately if it's not removed.

    HI Neil,
    Just found time today to go for a long drive. The Lane assist arrows did not get displayed.The firmware has definitely changed to 465 since i see it on the boot up screen and in all the internal menus. Is there anywhere i need to enable or should that appear automatically?

    Did you navigate in your test on roads with multiple lanes and also is TTS working ok? LA doesn't show for suburban streets of course. If your test was definitely with multi-lane situation, then try again after flashing with the 465 logo [test navigation can be done in simulation: Tools>Settings>System>GPS Simulator>On]. Kit attached made with V3.21 boot.bin as ldr.bin. Extract the file Updater.rar directly to root of a clean SD card. With unit fully off, insert card and turn it on. Wait for reboot before removing card.

    So to be clear:
    The nuvi 2460>dezl 560 conversion thread was linked as a GUIDE only. 2730 is HWID of nuvi 2460, don't name your rgn file anything other than 082701000420.rgn and use overrides to HWID 0827 ONLY and SW Version 420 in RGN_Tool. Your question suggests that you maybe haven't quite got your head around the process yet. Please don't do this unless you do fully understand the process and its possible risks [risk is actually extremely low if you retain hwid and use 2x5W boot bin and don't do anything silly]. Be certain that your 205W is in fact HWID 0827 [hold battery symbol for ~6 seconds to enter hidden menu, press next > Start Test > More and at the top of that page look the the entry next to Boot BLK. If it's B1091-00 don't attempt the conversion, only do it if your 205W has B0827-00. If it is 0827, procced as follows:

    1. Open nuvi465T_GCDFile__420.gcd in RGN_Tool, save the fw_all.bin [2nd section] somewhere convenient.
    2. Open nuvi2x5W_GCDFile__760.gcd in RGN_Tool, press 'Load' on the 2nd section and browse to where you've save fw_all.bin from 465 firmware to load it. Do the HWID and SW Version overrides as detailed above.
    3. Check the 3rd section to enable it and press 'Load', browse to where you've saved the 465 logo.bin and select it [get the 465_logo.bin from here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and extract it, rename it 16.bin if you want but it doesn't matter]. In explanation, your 205W as OEM has a modded logo which disables TTS. To enable TTS you need to replace it. This is what you should now have in RGN_Tool:

    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

    4. Press the 'RGN' button on the top left of the GUI and save as 082701000420.rgn ONLY.
    5. Put [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] in the same folder as the rgn file and drag it onto Updater.exe which will open as a GUI, keep it visible on your Desktop with the radio button next to 'USB Device' selected.
    6. Put your 205W into preboot by holding the screen top LH corner and immediately connect the miniUSB to it [have the lead ready plugged into a rear port of your PC], watch the window next to 'USB Device' and immediately you see the unit's details appear press 'OK' or just hit Enter key, hold screen at least until you see 'Loader' appear on the screen.

    Important:
    1. Back up your unit's file system and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] before you do anything. After flashing, hard reset it again.
    2. If you're uncomfortable making the firmware yourself, post again and i'll upload a ready-made kit for you. Better to do it yourself for the experience and sense of accomplishment though.
    Don't want to sound ungrateful for the explanation given but it does not work. Tried all sorts of combinations of firmware 7.60/7.80 255W (boot.bin) with 4.20 465T (fw_all.bin) . I have 0827 hwid and I flashed the modded fw but is stuck at boot logo and doesn't progress after that. I can flash it back to stock firmware 7.80 and it will work as expected. Just wanted to add the lane assist feature by flashing to 465T firmware...so for people having a 255W with 0827 hwid...it may have worked with older firmware,but it doesn't work with latest firmware.
    Tools/files used:
    RGN_Tool V094 (MD5 40478e3d7d6d78d80b16bc9f20b982d0 )
    Garmin Updater 2.8.0 (MD5 6dd5c2769426dd1c1634d3486818ce02 )
    255W GCD: nuvi2x5W_GCDFile__780.GCD (MD5 b6a8d29de37e880c4570f5b7ae1abef7 ) / nuvi2x5W_GCDFile__760.gcd (MD5 0292780467ef88f378405b5be9884f3e )
    465T GCD: nuvi465T_GCDFile__420.gcd (MD5 ba9ed2f819d11f90e237ad037c648838 )
    resulting in: 082701000420.rgn (MD5 ed0b9d33487672902429d79951834cc4 ) for 7.80 boot.bin

    edit: I found the PouchX file that flashes 6.60 boot.bin from 255w and the 3.21 fw_all.bin from 465T. This does work. TTS is a bit choppy at first. Lane assist unsure because did not test it on the road.
